From the day he planned to set up a salvage company, Xu Haibao considered what kind of salvage boat to customize with style and function. But no matter what, if you want to customize a salvage ship that can undertake the task of going to sea, the cost is not cheap.

Fortunately, in terms of current capital income, the batch of foreign gold and silver coins entrusted for auction earlier should be able to earn Xu Haibao a lot of money. What's more, Xu Haibao also knows several shipwreck treasures that have not yet been salvaged.

If he was really short of money, Xu Haibao could only make a hard trip and take out the treasure on the sunken ship in advance in exchange for funds. In fact, not going alone to dig up the treasure of the shipwreck is more about paying attention to the impact.

If Xu Haibao really sells several tons or even dozens of tons of precious metals at a time in his personal name, it is impossible not to attract the attention of the state. If it is replaced by a salvage company and sells the salvaged batch of gold, I believe that others will not say much.

This time, it was decided to go to Xinjiapo to customize the salvage ship, and more of them are also the shipyards of Xinjiapo, and they have customized salvage ships for many salvage companies. In this regard, the technical experience of Xinjiapo shipyard is still more than that of domestic shipyards.

When questioned by the police before leaving, Xu Haibao was not too relieved. Without conclusive evidence, the police did not dare to use too harsh interrogation methods. Even if the other members of the team want to investigate, the police have to think twice.

The members of the team who were summoned to Xiangjiang for training had made several meritorious contributions during their earlier service in the Navy. In addition, most of them are retired due to injuries and illnesses, and everyone has a state-issued disabled military certificate.

How dare the police investigate such a group of meritorious people at will?

For Xiangjiang before the return, I am afraid that Xu Haibao will have to take into account the suppression of the colonial government. But now, Xiangjiang has returned, who dares to wantonly suppress a group of disabled soldiers who have contributed to the country?

Taking a direct flight from Xiangjiang to Xinjiapo, Xu Haibao and his entourage of six arrived at Xinjiapo International Airport lightly. After hailing two taxis at the airport, the six of them quickly checked into the hotel they had booked earlier and prepared to rest.

While dining at the hotel, Tang Xingyou, who accompanied him, was also very curious: "Swordfish, as far as the current country's shipbuilding capacity is concerned, if we want to order salvage ships, domestic shipyards should be able to build them, right?"

As the ship captain with the best relationship with Xu Haibao in the team, Tang Xingyou still feels that ordering salvage ships can be ordered in domestic shipyards. After all, the strength of domestic ship construction is now not inferior to that of other countries.

In the face of Tang Xingyou's inquiry, Xu Haibao also said directly: "Rudder, in fact, I have also thought about customizing a salvage ship in China, but customizing this kind of private salvage ship in China is only afraid that it will be more troublesome in terms of procedures and supervision."

In fact, if I could, I even thought about customizing a 10,000-ton salvage ship. But you should know that the supervision of private salvage ships in China is still very strong. I did this because I was afraid of getting into trouble.

You also saw yesterday's incident, our company has just been established, and the salvage ship has not yet been seen, which has attracted the prying eyes of peers. If it weren't for the tiger sharks, they were alert and discovered their actions in advance, I was afraid that we would have suffered.

This time I came to Xinjiapo, and I didn't have to negotiate the order. At the end of the day, I have limited funds and can't afford to spend all of them on a custom salvage boat. It's not a bad thing to explore the market first, is it?"

Although Xu Haibao knows that the domestic privately run shipwreck salvage company will also develop slowly. Many state-owned salvage companies have also begun to get involved in the salvage of shipwrecks in the open sea. But these people have always kept a low profile.

The reason for the low profile is that there is no specific standard for the shipwreck treasures salvaged by private individuals in China. In many cases, for some wrecks salvaged in territorial waters, the state will require all of them to be handed over.

In this case, even if someone salvages the wreck, they will hide it and not report it. After all, who is not here to make money? If everything is caught and handed over to the state, who will go to great lengths to find a shipwreck?

After listening to Xu Haibao's concerns, Tang Xingyou continued: "This time we are visiting the shipyard, what type of salvage ship do you plan to order? If you really want to go to sea, the displacement tonnage is too small, I'm afraid it's not suitable!"

Custom salvage boats are different from custom yachts, and you definitely need to see a few more shipyards. As far as the current situation is concerned, the tonnage of the salvage ship does not need to be too large, but the wind and wave resistance and safety factor must be high.

Although the domestic Dajiang-class salvage ship is very suitable, you should all know that we can't afford this kind of salvage ship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons now. Even if we can afford to buy it, why would we go there and find so many people in one fell swoop?"

In terms of the degree of familiarity, Xu Haibao followed Tang Xingyou and others who went abroad, and the most familiar is the 'Dajiang-class' ocean-going salvage ship serving in the navy. This kind of salvage ship is also an ocean-going salvage ship independently developed and designed in China.

But the problem is that the price of customizing a salvage ship of this tonnage is not to mention. Just to drive such a salvage ship to the sea, Xu Haibao's existing manpower alone is simply not enough. Therefore, this idea can only be dispelled.

On the other hand, the 'Guard-class' salvage ship that is still in service with the US Navy is Xu Haibao thinks it is more suitable. Although the 'Guard-class' has a full displacement tonnage of less than 3,000 tons, it is almost enough for ocean-going use.

According to Xu Haibao's own requirements, the displacement tonnage of the customized salvage ship can be controlled at about 3,000 tons to 5,000 tons. The operating system and speed of the salvage vessel must be as simple and efficient as possible to reduce the working pressure of the crew.

The second is the strength of the salvage ship's wind and wave resistance, as well as the thickness of the hull steel. In short, Xu Haibao hopes that his customized salvage ship can not only undertake the corresponding ocean-going salvage tasks, but also ensure the safety of the team.

This kind of tonnage salvage ship, with the domestic shipbuilding strength, is not much of a problem. The key is that Xu Haibao hopes to build a salvage ship with a strong external armor that can compete with military ships.

This requirement alone, I am afraid that many domestic shipyards may not dare to accept such orders. On the other hand, when it comes to foreign customization, there are not so many constraints in this regard. What's more, the salvage ship will have to install a lot of equipment in the later stage!

After dining at the hotel, Xu Haibao had a discussion with Tang Xingyou and others on the interior design of the salvage ship. According to Xu Haibao's requirements, the number of members of the salvage team under him in the future hopes to be controlled at about thirty.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Xu Haibao is still short of half of the manpower. Fortunately, the matter of gathering retired old comrades-in-arms is still being done, and a group of retired old comrades-in-arms will come over in the later stage. Recruit 30 people, I don't think it's a big problem!

Looking at the gradually clear requirements and styles of the salvage ship, Zhao Ji, as the head of the safety team, said with some excitement: "Swordfish, can our salvage ship really be equipped with helicopters? Helicopter, what type of model do you plan to purchase?"

Facing Zhao Ji's inquiry, Xu Haibao said with a smile: "If the country can allow it, I naturally hope to be equipped with a military-type helicopter." But you know, it's almost unlikely. As for the procurement of helicopters, we will talk about it when the salvage ship is built.

If it really doesn't work, let's buy a cut version of a civilian model in the future. When it comes to the sea, having a helicopter as a patrol guard can also improve the safety factor of the salvage ship and detect unknown ships trying to approach in advance.

Although I do not want to clash with other foreign counterparts or armed groups on the high seas in the future. But we must be mentally prepared in this regard, so that we will not encounter an emergency, but we do not have the slightest ability to fight back and protect ourselves. ”

From Xu Haibao's words, Zhao Ji also knew that if he wanted to equip a helicopter gunship, it was not very possible. But even if it is a civilian helicopter, waiting for the salvage ship to go to sea and go to sea, it can indeed allow the salvage ship to discover the enemy situation as soon as possible.

At least judging from the current situation, Zhao Ji knows that this salvage ship pays more attention to safety performance. It can also be seen from this that Xu Haibao cares about the personal safety of his team members. They also feel at ease doing things with such people.

When Xu Haibao and his entourage stayed in the hotel to discuss the matter of customizing the salvage boat, the whereabouts of Xu Haibao and his party were still known by Ben Sen and others who had been paying attention to him. Knowing that Xu Haibao's new home was set for the ship, Ben Sen naturally would not let him get his way.

Xinjiapo, which is also one of the four Asian tigers, was also a British colony earlier. Even if it has been independent for many years, British capital also enjoys great influence in Xinjiapo, and Benson can naturally play some tricks.

Although the available evidence cannot prove that the sea lion salvage ship was seized, it is directly related to Xu Haibao. But Benson still thinks that Lauren and others will plant such a big heel, which was deliberately designed by Xu Haibao and others.

After a few phone calls, Benson also planned to teach Xu Haibao and others some lessons through his own connections. In Xiangjiang, a place that belongs to China, Ben Sen did not dare to be too rampant. But abroad, he feels that his connections are wider than Xu Haibao.

The most important thing is that Ben Sen hopes to find out whether Xu Haibao really has a military background behind this trip to Xinjiapo. If so, then Benson will also consider transferring out of Hong Kong to work in other auction branches.

If not, he would have planted such a big heel this time, and he would always have to find someone to vent his anger. So Xu Haibao, a veteran with no background, is undoubtedly the best person to vent. From start to finish, Benson didn't feel like he was wrong.

But Benson had no idea that the person he was about to provoke was not as easy to bully as he imagined. really provoked Xu Haibao, and it is estimated that Bensen's fate will be worse than Lauren, who is currently detained in the police station.

It's just that Xu Haibao, who has been resting at the moment, doesn't know all this. If Xu Haibao knew that for a person like Ben Sen, only by physically destroying him could he really make him fearful, and he would probably understand the difference between monks and ordinary people.

Perhaps for Xu Haibao, he has not yet become a monk, and he still maintains the mentality of an ordinary person to look at problems. So what kind of experience will Xu Haibao's state of mind get from the next trip to Xinjiapo?
